The Dodge Zeo, first seen at the Detroit Motor Show, is a shooting brake-style 2+2 wagon, with electric-only powertrain. Its new-generation lithium-ion batteries give a range of up to 250 miles and its 250kW motor is good for 0-60mph in less than six seconds.

Chrysler describes the Zeo as 'a new, youthful breed of muscle car for the 21st century' and a model 'built for enthusiasts'. At just 4,390mm long, 1,743mm wide and 1,290mm tall, it's some bit smaller than the Caliber and sends some pretty strong hints about Chrysler's plans for a new 'subcompact' model, at least in its styling if not a production-ready powertrain.

Chrysler has recently confirmed that it has done a deal with Chinese car company Chery to supply low-cost small cars for sale in South and Central America, and perhaps also Europe and North America; this has implications for the Dodge brand, too. Chrysler spokesman Tom La Sorda told reporters in Detroit that a small Dodge sports car was very much on the wish-list and the future product plan: the Zeo could thus be on the new Chinese underpinnings. These could also form the basis of a production version of the Demon roadster, an MX-5 rival first seen last year.

Please make it! With an economical petrol! Or a V8

Blind_Io · March 7th, 2008, 07:47 PM

I love the look, but I would like it more with a V6.

PelicanHazard · March 7th, 2008, 07:59 PM

^ I'm with you.

_HighVoltage_ · March 7th, 2008, 09:03 PM

V6 Turbo! Yes!
This car doesn't need rumbling, loud V8 - just a high revving V6.

I'm kind of thrown back by the Chinese platform that they will be using...

I agree. The breasts on this thing are amazing.

Car? There's a car in those pictures? I'd like to check out her ... 0-60 times? images/smilies/lmao.gif

At least not any car that I want to look at; that thing is disproportionate and just plain fugly. And while I suppose that someone's got to be the first to build a full electric, reasonably priced 'sports car', I don't think it's going to be Chrysler. I also want nothing to do with an electric sports car, but that's beside the point.

The legs look sexy as hell.

Quite ugly, actually (Like all Dodge's Concepts lately)
Did you know that "Zeo" in Hebrew means "That's it"? images/smilies/rolleyes.gif
